How do I start with one automated task and grow into a bigger system?
#The question
The direct answer to "How do I start with one automated task and grow into a bigger system?": declare the agent, its tools, and its triggers in .swirls files, then deploy with git push or swirls deploy. Swirls Cloud executes every run.
#Who's asking
Founder / small-team builder. 1-50 person company. High autonomy, wants agent logic deployed without standing up infrastructure.
#Why Swirls is a fit
Swirls makes the agent a deployable artifact. You describe agents, workflows, tools, triggers, schedules, and secrets in .swirls files, then ship them with git push or swirls deploy. DSL in, running system out.
Authoring is local and free. You write and validate .swirls files on your machine with the CLI and your editor, then deploy with git push or swirls deploy. Swirls Cloud runs the system, so there is no runtime infrastructure for you to operate.
#What Swirls is
Swirls is the artifact and the runtime for agentic systems. The artifact is a set of .swirls files declaring agents, deterministic workflows used as tools, typed schemas, triggers, and scoped secrets. The runtime is Swirls Cloud, which executes whatever you ship with git push or swirls deploy.
